Donald Trump signed an executive order that will require voters to show ID before voting for proof of citizenship, a move that has angered Democrats to the point of filing charges against the president.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have filed a suit with the United States District Court of Columbia, accusing the president of “conspiratorial beliefs” and “election denialism.”
“Although the Order extensively reflects the President’s personal grievances, conspiratorial beliefs, and election denialism, nowhere does it (nor could it) identify any legal authority he possesses to impose such sweeping changes upon how Americans vote,” the court order reads.
You cannot board a plane without identification, nor can you open a bank account, purchase alcohol, or even enter a movie theater, depending on your age. Yet, the Democrats believe that requiring proof of ID is voter suppression because they are so deeply unpopular that they must import voters.
“The Executive Order seeks to impose radical changes on how Americans register to vote, cast a ballot, and participate in our democracy—all of which threaten to disenfranchise lawful voters and none of which is legal,” the Democrat lawsuit reads.
This is another 80-20 issue that few support. I reported last year that a Gallup poll found that 84% of Americans believed photo identification should be required to vote. Non-citizens who do not pay into our system should not have a say in the direction of our country. Every developed nation requires voter identification to protect the integrity of the democratic process.
The Democrats could not even pay millions of migrants to vote in their favor. The party is simply too far gone and has lost its entire platform by fragmenting into two extreme groups. We have the center liberals who condone the war in Gaza and Ukraine. Then we have those who support Ukraine but want to abandon Israel. This is no longer the party of peace that opposes war. Open borders, inflated government, and endless spending—all of these policies have been deeply unpopular with the public. Then we have the Democrats like Nancy Pelosi who are overtly profiting on their position in the public sector through lobbying and insider trading.
The latest Quinnipiac poll shows Democrats falling to their lowest approval rating on record at 21%. Instead of listening to the wishes of the public, they are doubling down on the very policies that cost them the election. Schumer openly admitted that his party filled the courts with judges who vehemently opposed Trump and would vote against his policies regardless of whether the American public favored those policies.
